Tell Me What It’s Like is a podcast about uncommon experiences and what they teach us about the world. Host Stacy Raine talks with people who have spent years in roles and life situations most of us don’t experience to understand what it’s actually like, what they’ve seen over time, and what those experiences reveal.
In the Season 2 finale, military spouse Kandi Hart joins the show to discuss what she’s learned about building community after decades of moves. She and Stacy talk about what it takes to thrive in every new place, including the mindset you need, the tactics that can work, and how sometimes community starts with just one person.
“I will immediately walk up to somebody, and I will ask them about themselves. I’ll say, ‘Tell me about your family.'”
Hear Kandi talk about:
- Why Twentynine Palms — a base most people dread — became a place her whole family asked to go back to
- The party mistake that humbled her and changed how she thinks about inclusivity
- How she went from a shy kindergartner who cried every morning to the first person to grab the microphone in any room
- Why she thinks showing up at someone’s door still matters more than any Facebook group
- How to build your community when you’re not in a military bubble
